Fatal Lessons: The DVD
This movie is about a family of four; Mother, Father, Son and daughter. But the main role is played by the daughter's teacher, Victoria Paige. This woman is so sinister the family dog growls at her constantly. She basically takes over the family and runs things as she sees fit. The movie is well written and fast paced. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. I will stop here before I divulge too much. Buy this DVD at amazon.com you won't be sorry. Larry Vickrey

Fatal Lessons: The Good Teacher
I had seen this made for TV movie on TV a couple times and really liked it for its suspense and drama. So I was excited to see that I could purchase it thru Amazon. It arrived in a timely manner and in great condition. I have watched it again thru my purchase and it presented well on TV

Erika Eleniak plays villian, careful of her needle! ...
Found this as usual completely by accident, and I am glad I did. It's another of those thrillers that does not get a wide distribution and may never see a blu ray, but it gave Erika Eleniak a chance to test her chops and play a villian. I have to say that she succeeded.There is no point in going into the plot, except to say that it is a teacher who has a shady past and a psychotic history, which remains a mystery throughout, who slips into the lives of a family by offering to tutor the daughter privately. There is some delicious manipulation and Erika obviously must have relished playing a villian, since they usually have the most fun and often steal the show, (think something like The Hand That Rocks The Cradle and you get the idea, De Mornay stole the show there too). I think it could have done with a bit more sexual manipulation and seduction on Erika's part, towards the husband, but maybe it wasn't needed. There is a fun scene where she gets him to help with an injured foot (he's a doctor in the film), dressed in some lingerie, but it is unfortunately a rather brief scene and doesn't really go anywhere, which I thought a shame. Nonetheless, I love these films with femme fatales and female villians and Erika's sinister teacher was great fun. It's the kind of film you can watch again and again and stick on late one night.On another point, these former Baywatch girls, are a pretty dab hand at playing these kinds of things, since Nicole Eggert, also formerly of Baywatch, plays a deadly but sexy femme fatale in the rare erotic thriller, Blown Away, and appears nude. Let's face it, who would turn her away?Nice one, Ms Eleniak, no skin really, but a deliciously evil outing.

Tv movie thriller
Concerned that her daughter isnt doing so well at school,Samantha stevens befriends her daughters school teacher Victoria (played by Erika eleniak) who offers to help by giving her daughter extra lessons from home.At first everything seems to be going perfect but when Samantha falls mysteriously ill & strange things start happening around her,she begins to question if Victoria is really everything she appears to be..I really enjoyed this made for tv movie,it was fun seeing Erika eleniak play such a different role as the psychotic 'Victoria paige'!

Una cattiva maestra
Thrillerino convenzionale adatto alle prime time su Raidue, ma confenzionato con mestiere e dispensatore di una discreta suspence. Interessante la Erika Elniak, psicopatica e sociopatica con la passione per le erbe tossiche, che fà del manuale della giovane avvelenatrice virtù, preparate nel suo antro velenifero come se fosse una strega. Chi ama il genere "minaccia in famiglia/nemico in casa" potrebbe anche trovarlo interessante. Produzione via cavo ma con qualche buon momento di suspence ben reso. Ottima la prova della Elniak, subdola e psicotica come conviene al genere.Ho lo spartano dvd edito dalla Cvc/MondoFormato: 1.33:1Audio: italiano (5.1), inglese (2.0)Sottotitoli: italianoNessun extraDurata effettiva: 1h, 30m e 48s
